(Just for note, i'm an Arabic user, Urdu other additional letters and share same Unicode range)
I don't if I missed some thing. I installed the Urdu language support and switch to. Making changes mentioned on #18 /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf I tried (each time I reboot it) - replacing "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq" tired with "Nafees Regular" and "Nafees", no changes - same tests but by removing fonts lines for other arabic : arabic fa, arabic ar .. keeping only arabic ur no changes too I have attached a screenshot. ** Attachment added: "Urdu with default installed fonts" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+attachment/3596025/+files/screenshot%202013-03-25%2014%3A32%3A56.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library: Confirmed Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Debian: New Bug description: Default fonts in Ubuntu show ugly Urdu text. It's better that language-selector sets "Nafees Regular" (Nafees Web in fonts-nafees package) as default font for all font families (SansSerif, Serif...except mono) used in Ubuntu. I would like to ask, if language-selector is able to set specific keyboard layout for Urdu for 1st time? Please Shabbir: Could you write here the best setting for Urdu Fonts (Using "Tweak Tool": Scale Factor, Hinting, Anitaliasing, Size)?
